Sure, everyone has that right, but it still remains "ironic", to put it someway, that a great number of peoples all over the world believe in this jew called Jesus but NOT the jews?

That was not my point, obviously I failed to make myself clear. What I meant to make clear was that the way Jesus envisioned "development" was certainly the most sustainable interpretation of development anybody can have. Naturally, this may sound like blasphemy to most economists.
